ROOSEVELT'S ELECTION NIOHT DECLARATION STAYS
PUT.
Whatever have bees the fears of the enemies or the hopes of the
friends of Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United 8tales, that he
would again stand for the Republican nomination, they are forever aet
at rest by hto reiteration of. the simple 'declaration cade the night he
know the people of the anion had overwhelmingly elected him.
It to to be eonfeseed that the fear* loomed more potential, became
the Interest* that trembled before bis lash were clamorous tor an open,
final aad Irrevocable statement of bis reenact at loo- Renunciation un
questionably It to, for the rank and file of hi* own party—and. In frank
ness, no inconsiderable independent Democratic element—wished him
again to stand before the people.-
It must be admitted, too. In perfect frankaes* that perhaps no man
could bare defeated him. With the corporations and the vested inter
ests. Theodore Roosevelt today to the most bated aad mos^ feared man
living. Bat it to not to be gainsaid that with the mimes, the men whose
votes make or camake. he to stronger, bigger and more powerful than
ever.
For months there have been clamorous, f insistent demands from
thou In opposition for a specific statement from the president. To thou
who know the man. who have studied hto career, who understand that
under the eerentrid'.le* of tremendous power, driving him like a dynamo
to do things, there to the basic principle of meaning what he sayu. hto
statement, made that November night In 1*M. that be would not be a can
didate for the presidency again, sufficed. They knew be meant it.
But the swift unfolding of events within the past several mouths,
the straightaway, driving Mows President Roosevelt has dealt lawlea*
corporations, tent a riot of panic tear through them alL Candidates
who have felt the bossing of the bee. aad the petty enemies that swana
about the man wbo dares end doe*, have all Insisted oa soother declara
tion of renunciation.
These, perhaps, had no Influent* on the president's reiterated state-
meat Umr be wOl not. under any oousideratloo. permit (be use of his
name or accept the nomination fop a third term. To the friends, the men
wbo look to him for leadership, he has spoken: -
“On the 4th of March, next f shall have served three asd a halt
yean, and tbit three and a half years constHutss my fire* term. Tim
wise custom which limits the president to two terms regards the sub
stance and not the form, and under no circumstances will I be s candi
date for or accept another nomination. I bare act changed and shall
not change the decision thus announced."
There can be no mistaking that statement. But Theodore Roosevelt
to too Mg to be lost to public lire. New York would honor herself and
the nation by placing Mm where now' It to represented by those senile
nooenities—-Platt and Depew.
It to aa open field how for the Republican/nomination, and the can
didates have waited only this ward to race away—'Taft. Foraker. Can-
'non. Fairbanks, Cortelyou. Knox, ifhghes. It remain* to be finally deter
mined where Roosevelt’s choice for bis successor lies, and the influence
Ms advocacy win bare in the final result.
In the meantime keep your eye, nay. both of them, on Charles
Hughes, governor of New Torit.

We quote the above with a measure of satisfaction from a commu
nication on the “Education of tbe Negro." by O. Ounby Jordan, of Co
lombo*. Oa.. printed Jn a recent issue of The Tradesman and reprinted
In Monday’s Georgia*
There to evidenced In many quarters an awakening to this Important
phase of the prohIMUon movement in the South. Its bearing upon the
material welfare of the negro race undoubtedly worked weightily In the
deliberations and final actions of tbs Georgia aad Alabama legislatures.
It will play aa equally important port In similar movements in other
Southern state* For many years prohibition or any form of anti-liquor
agitation. North or 8outh. was regarded entirely from a moral point of
view, both by it* advocates and opponent* The material side was either
overlooked pr put aside aa lacking the' qualities necessary to the eras-
. tlon of public sentiment or the making of vote* There seemed always
a> disposition on the pert of those who waged It to Import to such s cam
paign as much of tbe spectacular and perfervid a* possible. Prayers
aad tears—good things In their places—were relied upon almost solely
to arouse the public to a tense of lu welfare and lu duty in the matter.
Tbe material side was considered as apart from Instead of as a pan of
the moral. Thus an unfortunate suggestion of the fanatical came inva
riably to be associated in the minds et many with temperance move-
inept* aad those who gave their time and thought and money to tbe
work to which they bad consecrated themselves were looked upon aa
- dreamers or crank* Hence came the sneering designation of them aa
Tong-haired men and short-haired women."
But that.time has passed. The personnel of the workers has not
materially changed, though many of the pioneer* have peered to their
reward* qnd great numbers of recruit* have been added to the cans*
Only in the methods adopted, growing out of a broader view of the ques
tion. doe* the temperance movement of today differ from that of the past.
■ When rich men as Ounby Jordan, philanthropist, sociologist, educa
tor end mighty captain of industry, commit themselves to the view of
the question expressed above, it may be accepted that the prohibition
movement tests strongly upon a thorough understanding of both the
moral' and material welfare of tbs whole people.

KNOW HOW TO BE IDLE.
Mqst of us know people who religiously keep busy every waking
moment, and even grudge the time they give to sleep. Such folks look
with disapproval upon those wbo Idle away a portion of each day. no
matter how small that portion may be. But what aa unmitigated bore
those re slots are who brag that they are never Idle.*
T never sit down without some work In my hand*" said the never
Idle woman, and then she goes to work and embroider* flowers oa a
piece of white line* Yet, strange to say, the criticises as laay a womfa
who refuses to embroider a stitch, but who spends her time lying back
In a steamer chair gating at the real flowers la her garde*
“How can you sit there doing nothing?" asks the energetic woman as
her needle gore ta and out the doth, while tbe silks shape themselves
Into a poor imitation of a rose. The idle woman would find It useless to
explain that embroidering to a waste of time when one can sit and gate
upon the beaaty of the real flowers. The busy woman would not under
stand it if explanations were made to her until doomsday.
Beware of the men and women who tell you they never waste a mo
ment They are bad erample* Don't tallow team. No one can be se
riously occupied all Ms waking moments aad have Ml the work he does
amount to something. Such a thing teat within human possibility. It's
tbe man wbo knows when to be idle whose work to worth white.
But there are those wbo say. *Tm never happy unless I am busy."
When people feel this way there's aotssthing wrong with them. It’s true
enough that the happiest folks la the world are those who have regu
lar duties to perform each day.
Just aa sure aa you see any one cutting tones from an toeh regular
duties yon may expect to see Mm unhappy before very. long. But tbe
one who must always be busy to be happy has a queer disposition.
There la so much beauty in nature. In art. la book* to music, in con
genial companionship that the right-balanced mind should be able to find
keen happiness whenever duties can be set aside long enough for these
other things to claim first attention. Bat the gospel of activity to so
continually preached nowadays that men aad women almost appsar
ashamed to' acknowledge that they can enjoy relaxation.
Some day It will be different. And when that day arrives women
will be ashamed to show tbe fine sewing they're dose aad the rows of
canned fruit in their cellars If their eyes are bofiow aad . their checks
thin- And men will be loath to acknowledge that'they have broken down
because they had tong considered It unbecoming or eaneceesary some
times to be idle.
We are hearing a great deal these days about bow the cMidrsa la
the large cities are being taught bow to play. It ta said that many of
them have no idea of bow really to play. Why act tare the business
men taught bow to play, too? And some housekeepers, also?
Teach the business man that it tent the number of bouts he puts fa
at hto work that to going to count so much as what be accomplishes in
tbe end. Teach Mm that be should find it possible to enjoy other thing*
than hard work, and if be doesn't something to wrong with Mm.
Teach the woman that shall accomplish mos: when ate baa learned
how to be idle- These lessons learned will insure fewer doctor's bills
and happier bomaa.
And remember this: If you're Mae whenever you're not busy, then
you're living an artificial life, no matter bow bard you work or how sin
cere you may imagine yourself to be.
Those who are living normally and are tm the right track ought to
be able to enjoy an Idle day ar Longfellow showed be canid when Be
penned the lines:
“Ob, gift of God. oh. perfect day,
Whereon shall no man work, but May:
Whereon it is enough for me
Not to be doing, but to be."

made her a comfortable heap of bay,

Tb* woman threw up ber.hand* "And
begging, too! Deary, me! But you
look above that." aha added, with a
touch of suspicion.
“And begging, as you any." said OUve,
with a smile.
"Why don't you turn and do seme
honast work for a living?"
-Ah. there'* plenty of work waiting
for m* at tb* end of my tramp. Thank
you for tbe meaL and also for tb* rest.

Tell tbe truth she dared not, lest any
clew should be given In case of In

directly to nteaiead tbe good aouL

eyca aa she took it aad thanked tba

myself, but 1 can't see a young fell

Two Ideas earn* to Oliva as the result
of tbe good woman's question* She
would keep to the nanie sbe had chosen
at hapbaxard. and would use her voice
to earn her bread on the long Journey
before her. Sh* bad not sung since
her father, defith. and. fortunately
Merridew bad no knowledge that sh*
could sing. If be made any Inqsirie*
therefor- thto story would put him
off tbe acant.
The second thought was that tbe
mutt keep tba Tact that ah* was still
alive a close secret until ahe could learn
what had aamrt at tba house on tbe
moor after her escape. If be believed
‘ sbe wa* dead, sbe would have an
rase advantage in tbe farther in-
vestigatlo&s ahe had to make.

truth and clearing her father* name

while Ufa lasted, would aha give up her

She had plenty to occupy her
thoughts apart from tbe ctreuzartaaces
of ber Journey. Indeed, these troubled
ber .very little. She would rather steg
than beg; but she had not a doubt
that by one meant or the other the
would manage to get through.
Her great problem was the decision
as to her future course; aad there was
the hundred question, which bad been
harrying and perplexing ber in all these
days in resird to Jock.
While aba bad been In captivity the
had passed many a bitter hour In anx
ious speculation aa to whether tb* plans
against him had been poshed fortran!:
and oa* of the keenest causes of her
anguish bad been tb* inability to com
municate with him.
And now there waa an obstacle
scarcely less Insuperable. In her opin
ion it waa of the moat critical impor
tance that Merridew must believe ber
dead; and were ahe to writ* to Jack,
the could not make sure that her lette:
would not fall into wrong hand* and
so reveal her secret. She did not know
how far Merridew or Mr* Taunton or
those in league with them bad manage!
to get her lover Into their power
They might even have control of his
letter*
If all was well with him. be would,
of course, be intensely anxious about
bar: and. although sbe waa eager to
relieve his fear* ah* determined not to
do anything until sbe bad heard that
It could be don* safely-
Her Intention waa to make ber way
to FTOmpton,.to Mr. Casement, in the
first place, and with neither food nor
money to help bar on the Journey that
undertaking was sufficiently formida
ble.
But the result of the evening's expe
rience Justified ber confidence In her
ability to overcome these difficulties
In the dusk she walked into a large vil
lage and determined to put into prac
tice at once ber Idea of singing in tb*
street.
At first the notes would not come,
however. She was so nervous «
shamed, and so terrified by the sound
of ber own vole* that sh* couM scarce
ly make herself beard. She broke down
entirely: her face flamed aad choking
sobs silenced ber.
Bat sh* was not of a nature to be
beaten. Mortng on, sbe scolded berself
almoet fiercely for this weakness Sbe

went up for him. aad when he brought

The man waa as shrewd as be was
